Turbo For Stock 3.8

[junior226958]

Hey I'm new to the board and was wondering what size of turbo to install on a stock camaro 3.8. I'm not looking for a lot of boost just something to play around with. I've got a 2000 camaro that is totally stock and this will be my first dealings with a turbo. I went to www.turbonetics.com and was looking but what size is best. Thanks for the help.:tup:

Re: Turbo For Stock 3.8

Best advice I can give you: Read the forums. 99% of your questions have already been asked and answered by atleast 10 people. If you can't find your answers after a couple days post new specific questions and I'm sure someone will do their best to get you an answer.

"Hi I know nothing about my car or turbos but I know I want to put on one, How do turbo'd car?" is not a question that is easily or readily answered.

Go forth little one and let your brain grow.
